  • Used only in a gallery, with no critical commentary about the DVD or DVD cover. Videmus Omnia Talk 01:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I feel that for an article about a film, the DVD cover is one of the most important images that could be included. A critical commentary about the DVD or its cover is irrelevant. I see many DVD covers in film articles that are not "discussed", they are merely used to help the article. I feel that deleting this image would be wrong as DVD covers are almost as important to a film's article as a theatrical poster. Donaldd23 01:28, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • This is an exceedingly poor image of the DVD cover. IMO it does not contribute anything useful. A better (larger, square-on) image could arguably be used in the infobox instead of the poster, to represent the primary visual image associated with the film. But this image is not it. Delete.

  • Non-free image of someone not mentioned in the article. Probably living. – Quadell (talk) (random) 03:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, he's living. This is a 2002 photo of Robert Van Deventer, who was a major network radio personality during the 1940s as a teenager, and there's a full paragraph about him in the article. The entire Van Deventer family made up the panel of the radio show Twenty Questions. This photo is, I believe, by the Poughkeepsie DJ Bill Eberle. After an extensive search, this is the only photo I could find of any Twenty Questions panelist. it appeared without copyright notice or credit on Eberle's site. Eberle has taken quite a few other recent photos of 1930s/1940s radio personalities. I would like to contact him about using his photos. If so, what procedure or what copyright tag would be appropriate? Pepso2 06:28, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This non-free media contributes significantly to the article. It significantly increases readers' understanding of the topic in a way that words alone cannot, by visually showing the Senate Watergate committee that brought down President Nixon. It conveys the somber and serious atmosphere at the time, and visually shows the central role played by Fred Thompson. This photo is historic and very relevant to the article in which it is used. It is also the only photo in that article showing Thompson as a young man. Subsequent to when this photo was uploaded, its size and resolution were reduced to ensure fair use.Ferrylodge 18:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The photo is not necessary at all to convey the supposed "somber and serious atmosphere at the time". And in any case, we need a better argument than "it's very convenient for us" in order to use an image from AP. --Abu badali (talk) 15:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: It is not evident to me that a free equivalent does not exist; I would expect official U.S. government photos of this committee. I do not see how this photo visually shows the central role played by Fred Thompson, or how this photo conveys more information than the sentence "Fred Thompson played an important role in the somber and serious Senate Watergate committee." Finally, it is not clear to me why we need to show Thompson as a young man, or if we do, why a free photo of a young Thompson does not exist. —Bkell (talk) 04:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While I agree that a free image would be best, a newspaper (AP photo) was the only one I found that would fit that section of the article. If it's a question of relevance or notability, I'm a bit confused since that whole section talked about his involvement in the Watergate hearings. I also feel the image helps the reader identify more with that section in terms already stated by Ferrylodge. Stills64 14:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If there is still objection to the photo after what I and Stills64 have said, then please consider the following proposal. The photo has already been reduced in size and resolution, but it has not yet been cropped. I think it could be cropped as shown here. What do you think?Ferrylodge 00:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, sadly. We absolutely cannot use an AP photograph except under exceptional circumstances. The AP makes its living licensing these images to news organizations to use, and our use could be seen as directly competing with these paying customers, violating NFCC #2. I know, it's an important and non-replaceable image. But that's not enough. – Quadell (talk) (random) 13:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have substituted a new photo instead of the AP photo.Ferrylodge 16:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Promo image of a transformer, could be replaced by free photo of toy – Quadell (talk) (random) 23:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image had licensing info now. user:mathewignash
  • keep- replaceable fair use only applies pictures of living persons and buildings. Images of toys are never considered free even if you took the photo Int92 17:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: rfu does not only apply to pictures and buildings. It applies to toys as well. The character is copyrighted, and fair-use claim will have to made on the use of the toy character in a free image, but the image would still be free. We can't use a non-free image of a non-free toy when we could use a free image of that non-free toy. – Quadell (talk) (random) 01:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment:theres no such thing as a free image of a non free toy, the character is copyrighted and any images showing copyrighted material is not (and is never) considered a free image and as the rational states there are no free images of the toy nor any images can be created since hasbro no longer makes the toy anymor. and the licence can be easly changed to cover art. Int92 11:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - licensing info. claims that it is a promotional image, but source is a fan site -- neither image here nor fan site identifies advertisement or press packet whence it came. Additionally, the "critical commentary" that this and most other -boxart images accompany is plut summary and OR. --EEMeltonIV 07:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
